"Watch out!!!" Qin Lei watched as Gao Neng went to lift the lid of the Tripod Cauldron. It was too late to stop him, so all he could do was shout a warning and rapidly deploy an Energy Barrier.
"VMMMM!"
A glass-like barrier, centered on Qin Lei, expanded rapidly, instantly enveloping all the onlookers.
As for Gao Neng...
He was left outside the Energy Barrier.
Gao Neng, who had been ready to bask in the crowd's adoration, was so startled by the shout that his hand trembled, and he nearly dropped the lid he was lifting.
"Watch out? Watch out for what?! Who would dare to ambush me?" For a moment, Gao Neng didn't fully understand what Qin Lei meant.
But soon, he understood.
Because the instant he tightened his grip on the lid, a powerful force burst from the Tripod Cauldron. Like a shockwave, it blasted the lid right out of his hands.
And then came a deafening boom.
"BOOM!"
A purple bolt of lightning shot out from the Tripod Cauldron.
This was true Celestial Thunder!
